Behind the sails - what it’s REALLY like crossing an ocean on an Open 66 | S2. Ep19

Hello there, welcome to Sailing NV, We’re a sailing family pursuing an unconventional dream of sailing around the world in our recently converted ex Vendée Globe Open 66. After nearly 2 weeks of riding the waves, we were nearly at the end of our epic 2500nm trip from Vanuatu to Indonesia, with our awesome crew, there were only a few days left before land would be on the horizon. Luckily these last few days passed without any more drama, and although we had some mishaps with sails, and multiple fishing boats loomed on the horizon, we didn’t get wrapped up in any more nets! We celebrated a special birthday in many languages and tell you a bit more about these brave fellows that joined us for our maiden voyage aboard NV after our big 2 year refit in Fiji. 00:00 - Intro 01:12 - Birthday celebrations 02:36 - Meet the crew 05:01 - Expectations 05:33 - Highlights 06:35 - Lowlights 08:59 - Solo's thoughts 10:05 - Our arrival 12:44 - The future... 14:38 - Outtakes ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- If you enjoyed this video please consider supporting us on Patreon   / sailingnv   or with a one-off donation via https://ko-fi.com/sailingnv or paypal https://www.paypal.com/paypalme/saili... #sailing #boatlife #oceanpassage #crew #sailingvlog #oceansailing #oceanlife #oceanpassage #sailingnv
